  • Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017
    Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017 Biography: Author and television scriptwriter Anthony Horowitz was born in Stanmore, England. He attended boarding and public schools. He graduated from the University of York and published his first book, Enter Frederick K. Bower (1979), when he was 23. Anthony writes mostly children's books, including the Alex Rider series, The Power of Five series, and the Diamond Brothers series. The first Alex Rider book was made into a movie entitled Stormbreaker. He also writes novels for adults including The Killing Joke and The Magpie Murders. He has created Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders for television as well as written episodes for Poirot and Murder Most Horrid. Most recently he was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write the James Bond novel Trigger Mortis. Anthony was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to literature in January 2014. (Source: Bowker Author Biography) Similar Resources: Discussion Questions: 1. Anthony Horowitz's acknowledgements say, "Writing this book has been a joy and my hope is that I will have done some justice to the original." From what you know of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, how does Anthony Horowitz's version compare? 2. "Holmes, you insist upon seeing yourself as a machine." — John Watson. Do you believe this to be so? Or do you think that Dr. Watson is oversimplifying Holmes character based on previously solved cases? 3. What were your reactions to the realization of what the House of Silk was and what it entailed? Some early novelists insisted that murder was the worst of crimes: has murder been devalued so much that other things are needed to shock readers? 4.

    Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master list revised May 2019 Susan ABULHAWA - Mornings in Jenin (2011, 352 pages) Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin , the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. Mornings in Jenin is a novel of love and loss, war and oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime. Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood.

  • 2019-07-08 Catalog P
    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for July and August 2019 Given that I’m writing these words in early September, I’m way behind on my bookselling chores. As I’ve relayed via email, between PulpFest 2019 and helping my wife with her mother — now in hospice care — this summer has been extremely busy. PulpFest is over for another year — actually eleven months, given the timing of this catalog. The convention’s organizing committee is already working on next year’s gathering. It will take place August 6 - 9 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh — Cranberry, located in Mars, Pennsylvania. PulpFest 2020 will focus on Bradbury, BLACK MASK, and Brundage. We may even throw in a touch of Brackett and Burroughs for good measure. In October, we’ll be announcing our very special guest of honor. Over the Labor Day weekend, Dianne and I drove to the Burlington area of Vermont to acquire a substantial collection of pulps, digests, vintage paperbacks, first edition hardcovers, underground comics, fanzines, and more. The primary focus of the magazine collection is the science fiction genre. There are also miscellaneous periodicals from the adventure, detective, hero, spicy, and war genres. The collection contains magazines in both the pulp and digest formats. The vintage paperbacks run the gamut of genres that are popular in that area of book collecting. PulpFest will begin selling the collection via auction during our 2020 convention. Given its size, it will take a number of years to disperse the entire collection. Now begins the difficult and time-consuming work of organizing, cataloging, lotting, and photographing the collection.

  • Fan Fiction and Authorship
    Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education Fan Fiction and Authorship Secondary Authors and Their Role in the Evolution of the Author Construct and Canonicity — Kristoffer Grødahl Master’s thesis in English Literature, ENG-3992, Nov 2018 Page 1/87 Abstract This thesis explores the author role as a complex construct in relation to the notion of canonicity, investigating the relationship between authors, their original works, fan authors and fan authors’ works of fan fiction. Four major works have been chosen for analysis, Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study In Scarlet (1887), J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the ​ ​ ​ Deathly Hallows (2007), Anthony Horowitz’ The House of Silk (2011) and an online work of ​ ​ ​ fan fiction by “gyzym” called What We Pretend We Can’t See (2017). Through the analysis ​ ​ of two original works and works of fan fiction derived from each, as well as the author role, copyright concerns, and the challenges of defining canonicity, this thesis seeks to show that fan fiction is productive and useful for the core text, and that secondary authors have the capacity to produce texts that can qualify as canonical to the original works according to certain criteria. Page 2/87 Acknowledgments I’d like to thank my advisor, professor Cassandra Falke at UiT, for her support and assistance in making a workable thesis out of an idea that did not initially fit in amongst the others. I’d also like to thank my friends for their patience and support. Finally, I’d like to thank T.S. and her friends for setting me on this path many years ago.
